1t will be remembered that Gov.

ton Of his term of Office, to accept the
position Of Assistant Secretary in the
Traesurv Department at Washington.
1Gesident Cleveland had met Gov
Thompson and was so favorable i'm
pressed with The gentleman, his ahil-
ity and his polished manner, that he
rendered him the position named.
Recently, Assistant Secretary Fair
child was designated by the Prosi-
dent as successor to Mr.. Manning in
the Cabinet. An effort has been
made to create the impression that
Gov. Thompson was ovcr-slaughtered
by the President III the promotion of
Mr.. MAYNARD to the First Assistant
Secrctaryship Of the Treasury. The
fact is, the law does not authorize the
designation of the two Assistant Sec
retalies as first and second.
Gov. Thompson is perfectly salts
fed with the position he accepted at
the hands of the President. He is
discharging the duties Of his Office
with thoroughness and fidelity
Characteristic of the man, and he is
treated with the most marked consid-
Grafton by both the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Governor Thompson is an honor to

merit. We predict that higher hon
